Gingrich wins South Carolina. I hear the Democrats are planning to have a huge party to celebrate!

Newt Gingrich surged to victory Saturday in the South Carolina primary, riding a pair of strong debate performances to overtake Mitt Romney and stop his seemingly relentless march to the GOP nomination.

Several television networks called the race for the former House Speaker almost immediately after the polls closed, a repeat of what happened 11 days ago in New Hampshire, but with a much different result.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Romney appeared headed for second place, with former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul trailing behind.

The results were a fitting addendum to a rollercoaster campaign, marking the first time ever that three different contestants have won the first three Republican contests.

Santorum won Iowa, Romney won New Hampshire, and now Gingrich wins South Carolina. If the GOP were a human being they would currently be receiving aggressive psychotherapy to deal with a debilitating Dissociative Identity Disorder.

The truth is that none of these idiots can beat Obama, and the Republicans know it. So they are simply delaying the inevitable, which is choosing the next loser to face the President from a stable of third rate choices.

I can hardly wait to see how many votes Colbert was able to convince South Carolinian's to cast for Herman Cain. And I wonder if that had ANY impact at all?

Update: Proof that the Democrats are celebrating Newt's victory, DNC Chairwoman Debbie was spotted at the Gingrich after party.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is at the Newt party. I ask if she's there as a supporter. "Yes, absolutely!"The only people more excited about this win than the Newt supporters are President and Mrs. Obama.

This is the most fun Republican primary season EVAH! And it's only going to get better.

And hey all, Andrew Sullivan quotes Jesse in today's post at the Daily Dish. It's all about Palin's use of the word "McGinniss'd". Sullivan makes the point that Palin realized the jig was up when Joe's book came out. Fun stuff.

Oh god, this means we have to put up with the smug attitudes of Sarah and the Flying Monkeys, since they think she is the one who called it, even though everyone was seeing it, and talking about it, as usual Sarah just jumped on the bandwagon and claimed it was her thinking. Typical MO for a liar.

Newt will be all smug and sickening, grandiose and full of verbal diarrhea.

BUT, I AM happy to see Mittens bite the dust, he's another one that is smug as hell and it's great to see him get some wind knocked out of him, too. What a circus these guys are.

See, more proof that real people don't give a shit about a candidate's personal life. And before you go into the Clinton Lewinsky bs, has that REALLY stopped his career? It stopped hers cold. He is thriving and could POSSIBLY win another election if he were able to run.

In short, who the eff cares. WE care about a candidate's belief system, background and record. hence, NO absurdly radical candidates please. Obama got lucky with the drowning economy and being a part of the party that WASNT in power. OTHERWISE, the man would still be serving coffee to the real leaders and thinkers. Thanks BIll C for the alleged quote.

Everyone has a past story. No one's perfect, nor do they make themselves out to be perfect.

Democrats need to learn this above all else.

Candidates are people too, which families that are probably 800 times stronger than yours. Ask yourself: could your daughter handle a bunch of gossipers spreading lies about her family or mother/father? Could your sisters ignore hateful, ignorant remarks about her sister/brother? If Sarah Palin as given us one good thing, it is that despite all the manure, family means the most in a person's life. Be like them, stand by those whom you love and will always love you unconditionally. That my adversaries, is family values: VALUING family above ALL else.

Snooping into matters that have no basis on policy isn't what good people do. Twisting details to make a situation or person appear worse is REALLY not what good people do. LEARN democrats. Those of us truly objective people can smell bullshit from a mile away and you stink.

According to exit polls, Mitt Romney lost voters of all income levels to Newt Gingrich except those making over $200,000 per year, reports PBS Newshours' Christina Belantoni. Among these wealthiest voters, these early numbers show Romney winning 47% to Gingrich’s 31%.

Despite his rocky marital past being in the news this week, including an interview with his ex-wife Marianne who accused Newt of having requested an open marriage, Fox News reports that more married women voted for Newt than any of the other candidates.

This Hannity segment from Friday's show made me laugh out loud in a big, raucous shriek of laughter. After giving Newt Gingrich the first 20 minutes of his show, Sean turned to Rick Santorum and concern-trolled about how mean the "mainstream media" has been to conservative candidates. This was, of course, the perfect opportunity for Rick Santorum to invite everyone to find out why it is that he hates Google so much.

Hannity hates mainstream media, despite the fact that he works for them. Santorum hates the Internet. And both of them nearly let their heads explode with the unfairness of it all.

Interesting posting on HP about how voters had to choose between picking the man Haley endorsed or the man Palin/Toad endorsed. Since the salamander appears to have won does that mean we are going to have to endure the insufferable undefeated one another few weeks? God, she will be insufferable. We need another oops to slam her back to earth.

I suspect Baldy the Dumbarse will weight in shortly. She will be polishing her "kingmaker" creds in front of a faction of her small loyal band of cretins. She waits until she sees which way the "flow" is going, and then she jumps right in. She is, as some say, a dead fish. Some of them will enthusiastically lap it up. I do wonder, however, how those conflicted cretins who view her as the rightful ascendant to "The Throne" will process this information.

Yes, it's the parade of losers all right. I hope Newt does take it, picks Sarah, and all hell breaks loose when babygate is finally picked up by the media. That and her ethical issues, along with cheater Callista and blowhard Neewt, ought to make for an easy reelection for our hardworking President. I can hardly wait for Sarah's next whinefest on Fox: I'm certain she'll make something up about the ringtone....it must be a secret Muslim signal to the Communists and fascists.

SP was on Jean Pirro's show--does that mean she's wearing another roadkill cap, or perhaps a bear head this time?

BTW, the minions are still swearing that The Queen had everything to do with Snewt's win tonight in SC-- nah, actually the outcome of all the GOP races so far--and that she'll win the Presidency by a landslide in November. How that will happen is still to be determined, but there are all sorts of fantasies going on over there this evening.

Guess it beats the C4P inmates' old hobby of writing letters to Penthouse.

See, more proof that real people don't give a shit about a candidate's personal life. And before you go into the Clinton Lewinsky bs, has that REALLY stopped his career? It stopped hers cold. He is thriving and could POSSIBLY win another election if he were able to run.

In short, who the eff cares. WE care about a candidate's belief system, background and record. hence, NO absurdly radical candidates please. Obama got lucky with the drowning economy and being a part of the party that WASNT in power. OTHERWISE, the man would still be serving coffee to the real leaders and thinkers.

Oh are you happy to get that off your chest troll? You feel better now? Good....no matter what dribble you just posted...here's the best part of all....Gov Baldy Louise Heath Palin and family WILL NEVER BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Unless of course if they are on a tour! So yes...Baldy fucking black basketball players, snorting cocaine off 55 gallon drums, sleeping with married men (Brad Hanson, etc), and the big mack daddy of all....FAKING HER PREGNANCY WITH TRIG PALIN will still keep her from EVER running for any political office

So she will...for as long as FAKE News pays her...will be sitting on the SIDELINES lying and spewing her incoherent rants and thinking she has an influence on what's happening in the political world...is only in her big, giant oversized balding head!

Nobody gives a shit about how nasty her daughters are...but it sure is entertaining watching them FAIL...just like their MOTHER! Fuck off troll...we're celebrating here!

You again show your smug, small-minded ignorance.Do you honestly think every Democrat is alike?And that Rwpublicans don't personally attack people and their families??Really??

Either you are Sarah or you are as stupid as she is.

One more thing moran, most Republicans and almost all independents out there can't stand Sarah and her big ignorant mouth. If you dont know that you either don't read or are in denial.

You are such a mean and nasty hypocrite and liar about Sarahs "strong close family" I do wonder if you are the mentally ill narcissistic loser herself. I pity you that your life is so empty and unhappy that you come here of all places to attack people you don't even know.

PS I'm a Republican with many Democratic friends who are lovely people. People like you only hurt our party. Stop attacking and making assumptions about people you don't know. Does that sound familiar hypocrite.

Dear Kay, I can absolutely guarantee that if some woman came forward with a little baby along with her accusations that Barack Obama was the father, you and your Republican pals would be calling for his resignation. Sarah would be screaming about family values, never mind that her family has few values that I admire. Barack and Company could show the DNA tests all day long, proving that the woman's claim was false, and you would still be on his case that it could have happened, after all, that baby looks like he came from Kenya.

Newt has plenty of other baggage, having been fined $300,000. when he left Congress in disgrace. Oh, that reminds me that Sarah Palin had to repay Alaska for some ethics violations involving travel allowance that wasn't allowed. You see, Kay, when you cheat in one case, it is easy to cheat in other cases. Newt said that he was never a lobbyist for Freddie Mack; he called himself a historian. No, he was a lobbyist, and he lied. He lied and cheated on his wives, and he lied and cheated in politics. The way I see it, the candidate's personal life is a reflection of how he leads his life in general. And, don't get me started on the many lies of Sarah Palin.

LOL! The "Crazies4Palin" crowd are picking Newt's cabinet! Of course, the fighting amongst the patients say that it is beneath Baldy to take the VP slot...that Newt should "let" Baldy be the President....LMAO!!

Those idiots are smoking some good shit for sure. According to the "Crazies"...Baldy has her "war hair" on!! THIS I need to see...no telling what that must look like...we already got Calista Helmet Hair...so WTF is Badly's "war hair" look like...a GUN??

Nice try but a couple of slipups. The first being that you seem to think real people didn't give a shit about Obama - and haven't been looking for any excuse they could find to demean, destroy and impeach him?

As for "serving coffee" if he didn't win POTUS? You want him to wear a tuxedo and white gloves? Does he say "Yassir" and bow when he serves the coffee?

Good lord - wake up, what is happening

Your last little ditty about Sara makes me think you are her or her daughter - how's that baby making coming? Everyone got one or two now?

Kay, how touching. However, could you please explain how Sarah Palin taught anyone about family? Because I'm confused.

You see, if there were rumors about me, rumors that my new very convenient baby with Down Syndrome wasn't actually born to me just in time for anti-reproductive-rights GOP primary season, but to my 17-year-old unwed daughter, I wouldn't publicize that my unwed teenage daughter's also very convenient pregnancy proved that she couldn't be the mother.

But that's just me.

Throwing her daughter to the wolves is obviously Sarah Palin's style, though.

She is truly a foul human being, whose only use for family is to promote her own false image.

Okay, before I finish reading all the comments, I have to say (and maybe I am trying to assuage myself and my fear that Palin will take credit for this): IF Newt won in SC because of her endorsement, then why did she not endorse him earlier (like Todd did) and therfore, why did he not win in Iowa, or in NH? She endorsed Newt because of what he said about her having a role in his administration should he (God, please forbid) win the election and because he could win in SC due to SC being racist, ultra-conservative, anti-Mormon, etc. That is all! God, I wish we could shut her up. How much longer do we have to endure the atrocity that she is?

The way that Bristol and Willow handled criticism was to use a homosexual slur to attack the critic-- not facts, not a well reasoned argument, but crude, distasteful insults. Some guy in a bar insulted Bristol's mother, and her response was the same thing, using homosexual slurs to address the guy.

How do kids learn their behavior? Usually by the examples set at home. They are a reflection of their family values. Bristol was paid handsomely to give speeches, so I would expect her to have some poise and the ability to answer criticism thoughtfully. She cannot. She resorted to juvenile name calling instead. She was in a position to educate people about Down syndrome in defending Trig. She was in a position to approach the guy in the bar and say, calmly, "What political positions of my mother do you disagree with?" I am mentioning Bristol because she was a paid spokesperson, used to appearing in front of crowds that must have also asked questions. It is too bad that she has no self control and that her vocabulary is so juvenile.

This is going to be a petty issue, and I know that you will be insulted. However, we notice that most people who troll for Sarah, sometimes a friend or member of the Palin family in person, do not use correct grammar. The Palin family does not seem to value education. Let me explain:"That my adversaries, is family values: VALUING family above ALL else." That is family values is not correct. Values are plural, so to make the sentence easier to read, I suggest: "those ARE family values." When you say "this is values" it sounds wrong. It is a good idea to stay in school, do the homework, learn good grammar and good speech. These are values that will last you a lifetime.

Sarah Palin's endorsement of Gingrich may have had something to do with his big win tonight. Let her take credit. It only makes her look more foolish to those of us who don't comment at C4P or her FB account.

I believe Sarah Palin is the greatest thing that has ever happened to the Democratic Party.

I can't wait to see what she does when Romney sews up the nomination. It is being reported that Jeb Bush is coming out with his Romney endorsement very soon. Florida will be Romney's. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Okay, before I finish reading all the comments, I have to say (and maybe I am trying to assuage myself and my fear that Palin will take credit for this): IF Newt won in SC because of her endorsement, then why did she not endorse him earlier (like Todd did) and therfore, why did he not win in Iowa, or in NH? She endorsed Newt because of what he said about her having a role in his administration should he (God, please forbid) win the election and because he could win in SC due to SC being racist, ultra-conservative, anti-Mormon, etc. That is all! God, I wish we could shut her up. How much longer do we have to endure the atrocity that she is?

@3:54P.M. The B S that you smell comes from the Palin Compound, built with Alaskan Tax Dollars. The BROTHELof Unwed Mothers spreading their legs to all comers. The Den of Hateand the Training Grounds for WIMPY Purse Carriers. The Hangout for all High School Dropouts who want nothing more in life than a chance at a REALITY SHOW. The Place that claims the QUEEN of PREGNANCY HOAXES.Spew your Hatred somewhere else, TROLL.

Well tonight on Fox Sarah still wouldn't fully endorse Newt. Bret Baier then asked her who would she endorse in Florida and she wouldn't give a specific name. She's stalling and waiting because she's afraid to burn her bridges.

The fact she won't put her 100% loyalty and endorsement behind Newt is going to bite her because Newt, like her, keeps track of who his friends are and will remember.

The Republican establishment is beside itself after Newt Gingrich's upset in South Carolina--

Reactions to Newt Gingrich's stunning and impressive victory in the South Carolina primary form a symphony. First, of course, we hear the cheers of South Carolina Republicans who have chosen their champion. From Ronald Reagan in 1980 through John McCain in 2008, the winner of this primary has always gone on to be the Republican nominee.

Then, of course, we can hear the buttons popping from Newt Gingrich's shirt as his ego swells to Macy's Parade size. If you listen carefully you can hear the soft sobs of Mitt Romney and his consultants, crying in their chocolate milk.

But above it all we can hear the weeping, the wailing, the gnashing of teeth of the Republican establishment as Gingrich's victory sends them into full-blown panic. I'm not talking about mere fear, nor normal nervousness. Not even the feeling you get when the captain says, "We've lost power in one of our four engines." No, this is worse. Worse even than when your doctor says, "I don't like the looks of that shadow on the X-ray."

This is terror. Chest-clutching, breath-sucking, soul-shaking panic. This is your teenage daughter telling you, "I think I'm in trouble." This is a Turkish border guard pulling you into a holding room when you've got a baggie of coke in your pocket. This is what George H.W. Bush famously called, "Deep doo-doo."

The Republican Party has never seen anything like it. Republicans are hierarchical, orderly, disciplined - everything the Democrats are not. They nearly always nominate the guy who was runner-up last time: Ford beat Reagan, and Reagan got the next nod. Reagan beat George H.W. Bush, so Bush Sr. got the next turn. And then Bush beat Dole, who in turn was rewarded with the 1996 GOP nod. Then they got all wild and crazy and nominated the son of a former President, but then quickly reverted to form and nominated the guy he defeated, John McCain. And who did McCain beat? Mitt Romney.

As the anointed one, Romney had all the advantages, especially the most important: money. But as the Beatles taught us, money can't be you love. Romney and the Super PAC that supports him outspent Gingrich and the pro-Gingrich Super PAC in South Carolina by a two-to-one margin ($4 million to $2.16 million.)

Gingrich won the South Carolina primary not because of advertising, but rather because of his debate performances. 88 percent of South Carolina Republicans said the debates were important to making up their minds, and in the two key debates, Gingrich hit every GOP erogenous zone. He scolded Fox News' Juan Williams when Williams asked him about the dog-whistle language Gingrich uses to stir up racial stereotypes. Williams, the author of "Eyes on the Prize," a respected history of the civil rights movement, knows of what he speaks. But Gingrich knows his party's base, and the base loves both the coded language and attacking anyone who calls them on it.

Well, as a conservative person -- no, no, not one of those; think "conservation" and "caution" -- I can't help but be wary of this. The "not Romney" people have been waiting to explode in support of someone else, it's just that the others (trump, bachmann, cain, etc) could not get the fire lit. Now that actual elections are underway, and NEwt won a big one today, maybe he can be the person to harness that fire.

I want Obama to win, and that is job one. But if he is going to lose, I sure as hell would rather have Mitt be President than any of these other nuts on the right. In bolder moments I want Newt or Rick or even Sarah to get the nomination, and to then get epically crushed, thus putting an end to the hard right's claim that the only reason they ever lose is when they run a moderate. Put the Tea Party down for good.

Perhaps the GOP were hoping for a Romney win. And Newt's win tonight with Sarah gloating about her wise endorsement will get their ire up and they'll keep her on a leash by throwing a few of her skeletons out to media. Expect this in the next few days.

Obama is going to mop up the floor with whoever they send at him and if it's Gingrich, it's going to be awesome. Gingrich needs to have his arrogant philandering butt kicked by a real family man.M from MD

could your daughter handle a bunch of gossipers spreading lies about her family or mother/father? Could your sisters ignore hateful, ignorant remarks about her sister/brother?

++++++++++++++++++

I you're referring to Bitchtol and Waller - seems there was a big fat finger that shows they didn't ignore it, and a disrespectful, vicious attack on an elder. And Trick-track may have tried, but lost his indifference with the Hatcher Pass fake weddin' photos.

BTW, that's called evidence to REFUTE your claims. Learn to acquaint yourself with the concept before you post falsehoods.

Newt Gingrich QUIT the house of representatives in a snit because he was forced from the Speaker of the House position. To all the people that contributed to money to his campaign and worked on the campaign, Newt said effectively 'it's all about me'.

From wiki

Gingrich made this announcement only a day after being elected to an 11th term from his district. Commenting on his departure, Gingrich said, "I'm willing to lead but I'm not willing to preside over people who are cannibals. My only fear would be that if I tried to stay, it would just overshadow whoever my successor is."

"See, more proof that real people don't give a shit about a candidate's personal life."

"WE care about a candidate's belief system..."

Doesn't a candidate's personal life reflect his/her belief system? Of course everyone makes mistakes, but what those mistakes are and how the person handles them are direct indicators of an individual's true belief system. Anyone can pay lip service to anything, but the proof of what you believe is in how you lead your life.

If you are Sarah Palin, as I suspect, there's plenty to support what I just said in that Bible with which you claim to be so familiar. "By their fruits shall you know them" is a good place to start.

“I think what Rick Perry having dropped out and that patriot having done well for the front-runner, whom I will call Newt Gingrich now, being the front-runner, having endorsed him, was a good smart move,” Palin said on Fox News.

Kay, you seem able to translate Palin's crazy thoughts into coherent sentences. Could you help her out here?

“Newt’s problem is his open marriage with conservatism. He has a long history of straying from his limited government vows. He spent much of the 1990s in bed with big government Republicans and lobbyists like Jack Abramoff and Grover Norquist.”

Our Alaska Jerk Joe Miller has been invigorating a campaign against Romney because he dislikes the Mormon Church as do most evangelicals. This is exactly the response to Romney we are seeing in Gingrich’s win. These people are the American Taliban. Joe Miller has an agenda. Look at this website:http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2012/jan/18/miller-law-95-rails-against-us-education-system/

Those of us truly objective people can smell bullshit from a mile away and you stink.

3:54 PM

-----An objective person can evaluate Sarah Palin's Trig birth story and conclude that it is false. In fact almost every detail that Sarah Palin boasts of in that sorry tale makes an objective person wince.

Sarah Palin BRAGS about boarding a transcontinental flight after an amniotic fluid leak for a premature Down Syndrome baby when she was high-risk (over 40, 7th pregnancy, history of miscarriages). Sarah Palin BRAGS about avoiding a NICU-equipped hospital to have her doctor INDUCE labor in a small hospital not even rated to handle twins.

An objective person does conclude that Sarah Palin is mentally unstable.

If you insist that you are objective, please give an objective assessment of the birth of Trig. Go ahead, we have plenty of time to wait while you struggle for a smidgen of objectivity.

See, more proof that real people don't give a shit about a candidate's personal life*******Kay/Brooklyn whatevah,Yes rational people care about ethics and whether or not someone left his wife when she was sick for his paramour, and wanted a "open marriage" when he supposedly is for a "man & a woman" not one man two woman.In fact if this was POTUS you and faux snooz who be climbing all over it.But like Sera its boys will be boyz?Oh fuck around with their whores and have prostitution rings & the little woman stays home and fakes a pregnancy. With a special needs kid.And rational people know Newt committed a felony naming/or promising serra to anything!And on the chance he does win and names her VP the press will not be so forgiving with her grifting and playing victim while pretending to be frontierswoman! Oh sera better get her prayer warriors to make sure Newt loses...Karma IS a BITCH SARAH!

The farther the religious right drags the GOP out of the main stream, the better the chances for President Obama to win reelection. I guess Republicans just don't think there's any possibility they could win this one. They know they're beat. They seem content to use this election season to merely spout off extremely conservative dogma.

I personally think Gingrich is way worse than Romney. Cannot understand the media taking Romney down like they are doing. Gingrich is an asshole! Why would women and christians vote for Gingrich? Doesn't make one bit of sense.

Kay,When a candidate runs as a "family values" man and panders to the extreme right, it is essential to look into his past to see if he is living the values on which he bases his candidacy. Gingrich is not.

My conservative, Christian, Rush-Limbaugh-listener relatives are extremely upset about the Gingrich victory. They keep saying, "What are people thinking?! We don't understand why anyone would vote for Gingrich with his past."

Keep in mind that these are people who think Obama is a Kenya-born, socialist Muslim, and who find the Mormon religion scary in the extreme. And they still can't fathom anyone with their values voting for Newt.

P.S. Random personal thing: I cringe every time I see Newt referred to as "salamander." I have a pet salamander, and believe me, she has nothing in common with the dishonorable Mr. Gingrich. She's a gorgeous, low-maintenance, pleasant little critter.

I'm still trying to figure out why the "Crazies4Palin" crowd thought she was wearing her "war hair"!Her wig and her head came to a point! Yes...I guess she looked like a "spear"...but that has some racial overtones to it...so I'm not sure about that!

And whatever she was babbling about...Megyn Kelly wasn't buying it and neither was Bret...I notice when the so-called legitimate talking news heads at FAKE News have to ask Baldy a question...they sound like they are talking to a five year old! HeHe!

I'm still trying to figure out like 6:34PM commenter said...why was she sitting in the dark? Not only was the fool in the dark...she had on dark clothing too!

So it looked like her pointy giant disembodied head was floating and talking gibberish! She also sounded half asleep...maybe her handlers had to shake her awake and hustle her to whatever cave she was speaking out of...I guess she's becoming the new Osama Bin Laden...since she's speaking from some dark carvarn in "somewhere land" to her "supporters"!

I was waiting to hear her phone start playing President Obama singing Al Green ringtone! Wouldn't that been some shit! Just the look on her face would have been priceless...BUSTED!! Come on Beefalo...download it onto her phone...just for fun!! LOL!!!

One more thing....did anybody else notice the song playing while waiting for Newt was Prince's "1999"? If I was Prince....I would IMMEDIATELY send a "CEASE and DESIST to that fat fart!

Matter of fact...I will send an email tonight!

Now off to celebrate with some Almond Champagne that my husband got from a wonderful winery in Amador County!

I find most of these comments kinda missing the point.....listening to his acceptance speech made me actually ill, its downright scarey the way he sees things. The last line was Obama wants government to take care of you but I want to make sure you can take care of yourself....WTF? Frank Lutz must be really making the $$ for his word spins. Also...looks like Rick is sucking up for the VP slot, he was sickening too. Palin is gonna be blowing her pie hole again but I don't think Newt is gonna share...his ego is giant balloon size now. One of the best parts of Obama, and there are many, is his personal life and character. He is a moral, ethical man with a family a country is proud to call my president. I have traveled thru the south many times, its a different planet.

They are saying the "influence" of Sarah Palin's support is what did it for Newt...

Look out. She will be more insufferable than we ever thought possible.

I personally believe it's the South, and Newt played the race card about a week ago with his ignorant and slanted comments about welfare recipients. This win mostly just shows how fractured the party is, it doesn't portend some grand ascendance of the EXTREMELY flawed Newt Gingrich.

James Carville wrote a great piece on Newt's win and the state of the GOP, if people haven't seen it:

could your daughter handle a bunch of gossipers spreading lies about her family mother/father?

My youngest daughter got pregnant at 17, didn't marry the father, works and continues to further her education, doesn't "party", says there will plenty of time when she is done with school and her little girl is older, can Palin's daughter do that?

My daughter doesn't get along well with her daughter's father, yet she has never denied him visitation rights and she wouldn't dream of bad mouthing him or his family when her sweet little girl is around, can Palin's daughter do that?

My daughter trusts me and confides in me, yet she has never told me nor do I need to know the exact place and circumstances of my granddaughter's conception, can Palin's daughter do that?

As a grandmother there is no amount of money that could ever make me look away and condone behavior by my daughter which one day would hurt or humiliate my granddaughter.

Did Palin ever stop to think that some day Tripp will read about Bristol calling his father "gnat", among other things?Did she not say that the book was "perfect" and "refreshing".

I think they call it her "war hair" because she looks more and more like Davy Crockett, with her wigs. "Queen of the Wild Frontier."

~~~~~~~~~~~~The only position Newt Gingrich would give Davy is "Special Advisor" on --whatever. She'll stay in Alaska, and he'll give her a call once a month to make her think he's paying attention to her. She won't get within 3,500 miles of Washington.And, as an "historian," (who was denied tenure at a fourth-rate college), he won't waste his time pretending that the anti-education Palins have any value.Sexual mores? Maybe "Christians" can ignore an entire clan who think unmarried teen pregnancy is normal.But people who are entirely without any education, who have no curiosity, and are too lazy to learn? They're among the ones who Newt would have cleaning the toilets in their high schools, to learn about the work ethic. The Sarah Palin show gave us a glimpse into her home. Top on the list, for me, was that there wasn't one book, one magazine, one newspaper, on view. We know they can't write, but it turns out they can't read, either.

My dad, a staunch Democrat, told me at Christmas that the Pres. would most like to run against Newt--that it would be a cakewalk, & that the Pres. polls +15 points above Newt nationally! Thank you, Palins, for making the 2012 an easier year for President Obama. I swear, those Palins are Democratic operatives!!!

I think the GOP has just proven that they hate Mormons so much that they will vote for virtually ANYBODY other than Mitt Romney.

Seriously? NEWT GINGRICH? The lying serial philanderer who humps interns on desks, gets blowjobs so he can claim he didn't "sleep" with someone, and who issues an ultimatum to his wife that she must accept his cock sucking mistress? THIS is the guy they want to be the face of the "family values" party? WTF are the cousin humps in the GOP smokin'? THAT is some mighty strong shit.

As God is my witness, I hope the GOP is stupid enough to nominate Gingrich. It will be a bloodbath.

This election may well be, as much as anything, the angry cry of those Americans who are obese, uneducated, sloppy, greedy, and self-indulgent vs. the green vegetable "elites."

If voters were concerned about John McCain's several cancers,and his age, what will they make of a Fatty Arbuckle who could succumb to a heart attack or be hobbled by diabetes with every creamy bite he takes in his six or seven meals of the day?

"Snooping into matters that have no basis on policy isn't what good people do. Twisting details to make a situation or person appear worse is REALLY not what good people do. LEARN democrats. Those of us truly objective people can smell bullshit from a mile away and you stink."

...And yet you claim Sarah Palin is a "good person"? I guess like all right-leaners, your sense of irony is entirely broken and your "bullshit sense" only tingles when the other side is doing it. Typical.

Newt Gingrich himself said that it WAS a big fucking deal who the president was fucking other than his wife, so the same standards apply to those seeking the presidency. Either Newt and the GOP admit once and for all that their bullshit $70 million witch hunt and their push for impeachment was nothing more than a grab for transient power or they MUST apply the same exact standards to horn dog Newt.

Newt Gingrich has all of the self control of a leg humping dog. He apparently will hump anyone or anything that lays still long enough for him to mount. This asshole is utterly amoral. THIS is the asshole that is to lead the "family values" party?

Fuck you and your situational ethics. Newt is a sleazy rat bastard, PERIOD. There is no way to spin him as the good guy wearin' the white hat.

If Newt's past is no big deal, then why is he still lying about it? His actions betray that he himself knows that his is a loathsome pig.

Kay,you have to be a bot, lol!I remember getting calls from Newt"they have taken god out of the square" and I wondered WTF he was taking about.Now with his adulteressI really wonder, did HE TAKE GOD OUT of THE SQUARE?Jesus would of thrown all these money changers along with Newt and Sarah to the side as Hypocrites!How do you bend the truth away from what it really is?You are brooklyn so delusional or the queen bitch herself?I personally believe you are brooklyn and the grifter will make you pay for putting out info to the outside :)Happy Karma... Bitch!

I am certain Sarah and Todd asked Newt not to mention their names. Sarah wanted the spotlight to be solely on Newt. It's what's known as stature building and he needs it. The least that we want is that the MSM will run the narrative that Sarah is pulling the strings and Newt is her puppet and that she'll become the power behind the throne (WH).

People know that it was the seal of approval from the Palins that the voters in SC were willing to overlook Newt's baggage.

After fighting the MSM for almost 4 years, Sarah anticipates that they will spin Newt's victory into a Palin comeback which they would present as something sinister in order to take down Newt in FL.

Besides, there's no need to advertise the Palin brand. Everyone interested in politics knows that her endorsement is the gold standard of approval.

Holy Medusa, Batman! Just saw a clip of Newtie and the Blowfish (Calista), and he's harping on the media, the food stamp president vs the paycheck president (is he running against Shrub?), and teaching kids of ALL backgrounds to work for their money.

At one point, I could swear the corners of Blowfish's formed a semi snarl/smile and one whisp of her hair ACTUALLY tried to escape!

The best, Old Crusty Cueball was on Fuchs News w/ Meg Kelly and some male dufus taking turns (typical). She's dressed in black, with a dark background, accessorized like a real candidate (earrings AND necklace matching and understated) with her roadkill spit shined and up do'ed almost like the RNC days

In Crusty Cueball's addled brain, she's dressed up, waiting for a phone call from Newt asking her to be his speech writer or running mate. HA HA HA

As long as there's breath in the blowfish's lungs, that ain't happening! Newtie needs Sarah to get to Florida, then he'll kick Crusty to the curb. That's how he rolls.

The newt broke his marriage vows and asked for a divorce AFTER his wives became ill. This is not a coincidence. With commitment and loyalty like that they would have been better off getting a dog instead of a newt.

The man has no morals. Why would we give this man the power to speak for our country?

Why is no one talking about Newt's "Contract with America", better known to my friends as "Contract ON America"? Seems more critical than anything about with whom he sleeps. Or whatever they do. Nasty as that aspect of his life is. He is a world class misogynist but he took aim on most of us when he was in power before. His regime was incredibly destructive last time around. Why would anyone want to do that again?

Holy Crap, Kay is just a crazy person! He or she is absolutely all over the place. Thanks Kay, for making me feel absolutely NORMAL! You are like some of my crazy aunts; I love and adore them but give them a wide berth and listen with a pasted on smile and half an ear when they go off on their "tangents".

Keep on keepin' on crazy Kay. The world needs a few of you, just to keep the rest of us entertained.

I know this is responding to a comment from over a hundred comments ago (just read 3:45) but if Obama hadn't become president he still would have continued as the wise and well educated civil servant and leader that he naturally is in some other capacity. Suggesting that he would be "serving coffee" seems nothing other than racism since it is ignoring the facts of his career and personage.

I try to understand the people who argue "we don't like his policies! It's not about him looking black!" however, I just don't see the hysteria and pearl-clutching and desperation about needing to get him out as being really and truly about his "policies".

I also am really irked about the tendency to ignore that he is in fact a Christian by people who value such things in a leader. The Presidenial Prayer Committe website which was instituted after 9/11 for Bush has some prayers posted for a candidate to rise up to take our country back to God. The suggestion is that Obama is not Christian enough, I guess. It's all very "some animals are more equal than others". Again: smells like teen spirit.

And by "teen spirit", I mean racism. Sorry, I try to see the viewpoint and keep coming up with the same conclusion.

9:36 PM

Hahahahaha!

'Ahem', you get better and better with your snarky satire :) It's even more hilarious when you forget to sign your moniker.

I'm late to the party but already spotted a squatting, drooling wonk eyed troll at 9:36 PM.

Hey stoopid, in the real world THIS is what most people KNOW:

The newt has no intention of mentioning their names. Sorry Paylumps, no room at the Monstrous Ego Inn. Sore-ah latest folly: shining her dim spotlight on the piglet. It's what's known as shooting yourself in the calloused foot. You would think that the least she wants is the MSM to actually do their job and run with the narrative that she is hoping that by being the newt's puppet she'll have a cushy job and get in on the ril grifting goin' on, the big leagues that she daydreams of when sitting on her not so white throne, which she does often 'cause Dud is no slouch in the vindicative department, slipping her those laxatives as revenge for his hostage raisins.

There is no need to advertise the P$lin Scam. Everyone interested in the criminal activities of certain Polluticians knows that buyer's remorse is just desserts for the voters who apparently never heard of Fool's Gold.

8:59 Congratulations on raising a good daughter, one who learns from her mistakes. Having a child is hardly a "mistake" just a blessing that showed up a little too early. You are someone who shows true "family values" supporting your daughter through the difficult times. Obviously you did a good job raising a responsible, hard working daughter. Good luck to all of you in the future.

Thank you Kay @3:54 pm for so perfectly illustrating the concerns of Anonymous @3:50 pm:"Oh god, this means we have to put up with the smug attitudes of Sarah and the Flying Monkeys, since they think she is the one who called it, even though everyone was seeing it, and talking about it, as usual Sarah just jumped on the bandwagon and claimed it was her thinking. Typical MO for a liar. "

Hypocrisy and Republicans; apparently you can't have one without the other.

President Obama is light years beyond your lowlife disgraced former Speaker Gingrich. Typical of Republicans; you've shown time and time again that corruption and lack of ethics is no bar to holding elected office.

Gingrich was forced to resign in disgrace from the third highest position in the land and you would trust him with the presidency.

And, typical of racists, you used the (alleged) quote about how he's black and should be serving coffee to his betters (white men). The alleged quote may have been made by Clinton, but your pleasure using it is obvious.

The stellar record of top-flight education and accomplishments of President Obama is light years beyond enything that the low-life, racist, corrupt, un-American Republicans can muster up all put together.

You say: "LEARN democrats. Those of us truly objective people can smell bullshit from a mile away and you stink."

No dear, that's your own festering racism, hypocrisy, and evil that you smell. By the way, you should change your white sheet; it looks like you sat in a steaming pile of your own bullshit.

I find it quite funny that the same folks who are trying to trivialize Newt's transgressions in his personal life are not willing to extend the same charitable approach to the personal lives of Bill Clinton or John Edwards. I would be willing to bet they would have a cow if any such info came to light about President Obama. You are delusional if you think for one moment that Sarah Palin has a strong family (LOL) or that Newt Gingrich's misogyny and serial adultery would be excused in Democrats by the people rooting for Gingrich. Anyone who claims to be a paragon of family values is bound to be subjected to intense scrutiny, and these two have personal and political records that don't pass the smell test. President Obama, on the other hand, DOES have a strong family unit and is not an adulterer. As an African-American, I fully got exactly what you meant with your remark that the president would be "serving coffee" if he hadn't become president. See, it's the racism that a disturbing number of Republican leaders and voters are willing to verbalize that turn off most of us from voting for GOP candidates as even dog catchers.

As for 9:36 p.m., was Palin's endorsement the "gold standard" for Christine O'Donnell, Joe Miller, or Sharon Angle? While it's true that Nikki Haley, a Palin endorsee won, she has so antagonized even the Republicans in her own state that her chances of re-election are exceedingly slim, not to mention a political career that extends beyond being South Carolina's governor.

What it boils down to is that the GOP has a huge, self-inflicted problem that is manifesting itself in the nomination process of 2012.The GOP establishment wants someone who seems reasonable by comparison with the other nuts, but the base wants someone who gives them red meat rhetoric in place of actual solutions.

Kay made it clear she defines "family values" as sticking up for a family member regardless of what he or she does.

Kay, I and most people define a "strong" person differently. A strong person does not turn things around lying someone else is guilty of their decisions. An example is the Bridge to no where. A "strong" person is assertive and secure to speak up for self without name calling or family members ganging up like in FB assault.

Folks, there are clearly fundamental differences in how Cpeers define values and limitations of "family first". I believe if a Palin committed murder their followers would only measure if their family assisted with the murder.

@GinaMSo it looked like her pointy giant disembodied head was floating and talking gibberish! She also sounded half asleep...maybe her handlers had to shake her awake and hustle her to whatever cave she was speaking out of...I guess she's becoming the new Osama Bin Laden...since she's speaking from some dark carvarn in "somewhere land" to her "supporters"!~~~~~~~~~Oh lordy that made me laugh...thank you! Maybe she's in her "Osama Bin Laden" compound down in AZ. I bet she starts releasing tapes to the media when her FauxNews contract is up and everybody is ignoring her.
